Chapter 381: Demon Suppression Zen Singing (1)
I breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then let's do it quickly." β
Turnesky's eyes flashed with hope: "Mr. Long, I also want to make a final confirmation, why did the macaques come here and not other countries?" If we take military action against the Pamirs, will we fall for the tricks of other countries? β
He is worthy of being a spy, and he is simply suspicious to the point of outrageousness. Even when something gets clear, he can still ask questions, eager to overturn everyone's consensus.
"Bring me the map." I did not answer directly, but calmly commanded.
Turnesky opened the door, and we walked into his office together.
He clicked a few times on his laptop on his desk, and a satellite map of the Asia-Europe border appeared on the big screen across his desk.
Hundreds of years ago, the plateau was a natural barrier between Asia and Europe, separating the powers of the two places. Asians who want to enter Europe have to take a detour from the north and south.
Today, at least 200 flights a day cross the Pamirs, and the so-called barrier is nothing more than a hill on a satellite map.
"It should be here." Turnesky drew a circle in the middle of the plateau with the mouse pointer, and then zoomed in continuously.
The northern powers rank second in the world in space technology, and the satellite map is still very clear after being magnified sixty times.
On the big screen, I saw a series of blue-gray castles, arranged from south to north, at least 100 of them.
It was mentioned in National Geographic, and I remember the castle complex being called "The Ruins of the Valley of the Holy Buddha", and it was a very claustrophobic deserted valley. According to American historians, the site was built around 400 A.D., and its architectural style is a mixture of ethnic minority characteristics from Asia and Europe.
"You must have more details, right?" I asked.
The northern powers have absolute control over the Pamirs, and the forces of other countries have been involved here several times, but they have all been cut off by the northern powers, and they can only retreat in embarrassment.
"Yes, some, the most important ones, have to do with the stone statues of the 'Valley of the Holy Buddha'. We excavated some ancient silk books in the local area and deciphered the hieroglyphs on them. The silk book says that the stone statue is not a stone carving, but a group of real gods and Buddhas petrified for some reason. At some point in the future, the gods and Buddhas will be awakened and ascend to heaven. At the same time, experts have discovered a globally unique population of mutant macaques in the Valley of the Holy Buddha, calling them 'six-eared macaques' β "Turnesky stopped narrating and looked straight at me.
Those who are familiar with the novel "Journey to the West" are very clear about the story of the "six-eared macaque", which is the only monster in the whole novel that can tie with the Monkey King.
I nodded: "I know the legend of the 'six-eared macaque', but it is a mythological story, and the macaques living in the 'Valley of the Holy Buddha' do not have this ability, but they only have six ears." β
In many scientific magazines, there have been pictures of the "six-eared macaque", in addition to the two ears that should be present, the other four ears are also symmetrical, growing on the upper and lower sides of the native ears, like a string of yellow fungus growing from the roots of an old tree.
"According to the legend of the Central Plains, this macaque can understand human nature, and at a certain moment, it will transform into a human form." Turnesky said.
"Let's talk about the strangeness of the 'Valley of the Holy Buddha', what else is there besides the stone statues and macaques?" I asked.
"In the past few years, there have been many strange incidents in the Pamirs where monkeys have turned into humans and people have become monkeys. The local government and civilian military organizations have carried out more than a dozen large-scale extinguishing operations, exterminating all the mutant groups that do not distinguish between humans and monkeys, and dousing gasoline on the corpses and burning them. At that time, there would be a red light in the valley of the Holy Buddha, and the sound of chanting in an undistinguishable language wafted in the air. However, the only good news is that the eradication operation did not lead to the plague disaster, and the locals had to react to the changes and had no other action to take action. Turnesky replied.
After a moment's thought, I immediately put forward my opinion: "Your Excellency, if you are convinced that the macaques are from the Valley of the Holy Buddha, I suggest that you immediately send men and horses to destroy it. β
The Valley of the Holy Buddha has always been one of the unstable factors in human society, and it has long formed a tumor disease. For the sake of the development of human society, it is necessary to start early and eliminate hidden dangers, instead of giving it the reputation of "sightseeing destination", which will lead to more innocent victims.
Curiosity can kill people, and only by taking action in a timely manner can we ensure the safety of innocent people.
"I made three proposals to the president, but he vetoed them." Turnesky said.
I couldn't help but smile wryly: "Really? It seems that there are causes and effects in the past, and he has today's disaster, which is the result of insufficient estimation of the harm to the Holy Buddha Valley in the early stage. β
"yes, now he's a ...... Turned into a monkey. Turnesky lost his words, then covered his mouth and looked at me in embarrassment.
I had expected the truth, but I was shocked to hear such words come out of Turnesky's mouth.
"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything...... Turnesky shook his head repeatedly, but the sentence just now was already overwhelmed.
"Let's face it." I calmly said, "No matter what happens, as long as it's a reality, we have to accept it honestly and then find a way to deal with it." Don't worry, I didn't hear that sentence just now, and you never said anything bad about the president. β
Turnesky breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and then pulled off his tie with all his might, loosening the top button of his shirt.
His face was already flushed, his voice was lowest, and he was almost speaking in ventriloquism: "Mr. Long, you mean, I can take action?" β
Without hesitation, I nodded, "Yes." β
"This matter requires the use of the forces of the Ministry of Defense, and must be reported to the National Security Council, and all the upper echelons will meet to study it-"
I interrupted him: "Your Excellency, I understand some of the extraordinary ways in which your country does things. Believe me, for the sake of the country's president's safety, no matter what extraordinary response strategy you adopt, it will not be excessive, and you will be able to gain the understanding of the upper leadership. Now, order your men, your spy forces lurking in the Pamirs, to do everything in their power to destroy the castles and statues of the Valley of the Holy Buddha. Okay, go give the order. β
"Thisβ" Turnesky muttered, pressing the mouse with his right hand and the red telephone on the desk with his left.
I stopped talking and turned to look at the big screen.
Apart from folklore, no one knows the origin of the castle. Then, the words on the silk book are the only clue.
No one wants to see the apocalyptic scene of "stone statues resurrected and gods and Buddhas in the sky", and only by taking decisive action can they save themselves and save others.
I believe, and many historians and archaeologists believe, that there are too many "Pandora's boxes" on Earth. Many ignorant treasure hunters think that prehistoric humans have left behind priceless treasures, but they don't even think about the horror of these "magic boxes". As a result, more and more disasters are artificially triggered, and the end of the earth is approaching step by step.
As we all know, there was a large-scale plague event in North Africa in 1944, which not only spread in most of Egypt, but also spread to neighboring European countries by ships and planes. The initiator of the incident was an animal mummy porcelain altar excavated from the pyramids of the Giza Heights by two tomb robbers. Since then, Egypt has enacted the "Pyramid Monument Protection Law", which shocked the world, prohibiting any citizen or tourist from carrying an unknown object from the pyramid, even if it is just a stone or a handful of dust, to death.
The ignorant are fearless, and the fearless are all in danger of the destruction of this world.
"Those castles should have been destroyed a long time ago, and as for the mutant species like the six-eared macaque, it should have beenβ" I shook my head and sighed.
In the vicinity of that plateau, humanity is fighting for territory, but it is completely unaware that the real threat does not come from the same kind, but from other races.
"Mr. Long, I am willing to believe you, even if only this time." Turnesky muttered.
I didn't look back, just waved my hand.
With a bang, the door was slammed open, and nine Tibetan monks in red rushed in together.
"Quick, quick, quick, that thing has begun, that thing has begun......" the nine men shouted together in a panic.
"What's the matter? What's up? Turnesky shouted, "Come on, come on, get them out!" β
Four guards followed the nine Tibetan monks in, full of studying abroad, staggering, presumably just after being hit hard.
I understand that nine Tibetan monks broke through and four guards were no match at all.
"Speak slowly." I only said three words.
The nine men spoke at the same time, their voices uneven and influencing each other, so that they couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Slow, slow, say-" When I repeated these three words, the internal qi came from the dantian qi sea, and each word carried the sound of the morning bell and dusk drums, and the noise of the nine people was forcefully suppressed.
"That's going to happen." The leading Tibetan monk said.
"What's the matter?" Turnesky asked.
"The macaque race has invaded, and the stone statue of the Holy Buddha Valley is about to be resurrected." The Tibetan monk replied.
In the modern city of the 21st century, he said such a ridiculous thing that it could easily be taken as a joke by ordinary citizens. However, I believe what he said, and I am 100% sure that this is very bad news that is very terrible for all of humanity.
"Do things, do things." I waved to Turnesky again.
Bad news always comes, and all we can do is to quickly make amends and get what needs to be done.
Turnesky suddenly picked up the telephone receiver and shouted loudly: "Give me the command of the agents of the Western Front, I want to talk to the head of the cavalry unit with Iron Fist." Hurry, right away, right away. β
"It's late, it's late......" The Tibetan monk who took the lead cried out in horror, suddenly shaking with spasms and trembling, and then stopped, motionless, like a puppet that had lost control.
"It's late, it's late......" The rest of the Tibetan monks also shut up and stood silent after screaming a few times.
"Stand back, be vigilant for change." I immediately issued a warning to Turnesky.
His reaction was also very quick, he dropped the mouse with his right hand, opened the drawer, and took out the pistol, the muzzle of which was pointed at the Tibetan monk who led the way.
"How many years? I don't even remember how many years have passed. Everything is unfamiliar, everything is brand new...... I smell blood......" said the Tibetan monk.
Four guards drew their guns, all waiting for Turnesky's order.
Turnesky gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Shoot, kill them, kill them all!" β
It's not a good order, but at this moment, it's a life-saving order.
